Match each multimedia type to the correct example.
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

1-A self-paced online class: <em>nonlinear multimedia</em>

2-A movie : <em>linear multimedia</em>

3-the World Wide Web: <em>hypermedia</em>

Explanation:

  1. In this multimedia type, the user interacts with the programmes on the web. Therefore, the material that comes out through this media is not sequencial ; it is not organised in chronological order. It comes out as the interaction between user / learner and a on line teacher takes place.

  3. The world wide web (WWW) is full of different types of texts and the user can access any of then at the click of a key. The users decides how to read the material that comes out on the web by making use of the different links that can be seen on screen.

Lorico [155]

The right answers are "quite clearly mid-range pottery" and "decorated with a drape of lacy hallmarked silver"

The descriptive details of the text that best help the reader to visualize the particular Victorian tea set are these two options quoted above because they describe two physical characteristics of the Victorian tea set. Because it is a physical feature, it is easier for the reader to imagine how this tea set would look and visualize it in his mind as best he can.

Answer: The real answer is Mawu

Explanation: In Dahomey (West African) mythology, Mawu is a creator goddess, associated with the sun and moon. After creating the earth and all life and everything else on it, Mawu became concerned that it might be too heavy, so she asked the primeval serpent, Aido Hwedo, to curl up beneath the earth and hold it up in the sky.

In this acceptance speech for Nobel Peace Prize, how does Albert Schweitzer convince the audience of his position of peace?
-Dominant- [34]

This question is not complete and this is the complete version i found.

Let us dare to face the situation. Man has become superman. He is a superman because he not only has at his disposal innate physical forces, but also commands, thanks to scientific and technological advances, the latent forces of nature which he can now put to his own use. To kill at a distance, man used to rely solely on his own physical strength; he used it to bend the bow and to release the arrow. The superman has progressed to the stage where, thanks to a device designed for the purpose, he can use the energy released by the combustion of a given combination of chemical products. This enables him to employ a much more effective projectile and to propel it over far greater distances.

However, the superman suffers from a fatal flaw. He has failed to rise to the level of superhuman reason which should match that of his superhuman strength. He requires such reason to put this vast power to solely reasonable and useful ends and not to destructive and murderous ones. Because he lacks it, the conquests of science and technology become a mortal danger to him rather than a blessing.

In this context is it not significant that the first great scientific discovery, the harnessing of the force resulting from the combustion of gunpowder, was seen at first only as a means of killing at a distance?

Select the correct answer.

In this acceptance speech for Nobel Peace Prize, how does Albert Schweitzer convince the audience of his position of peace?

A.

repeating the metaphor of gunpowder

B.

using his expert testimony on peace

C.

generalizing the flaws of science

D.

comparing the human to a superman

Answer:

D.  comparing the human to a superman

Explanation:

Albert Schweitzer tries to convince the audience of his position of peace by comparing the human to a superman in order to show how man thinks of himself as super powerful because of simple technological and scientific discoveries.

He first starts by recognizing how the advances in technology has greatly enhanced the strength of man and how man can do more and perform more accurately with less effort than before. He then goes on to add that such superhuman strength requires superhuman reason so it will not become a curse.

According to him, without superhuman reason, man will continue to use such advances in technology for harm and wars and killings instead of for reasonable and useful ends.
